Finally, I have a chance to try Chari Moss' stamp on stamp mirror stamping! I stamp the flamingo onto some pattern papers and trimmed accordingly. Another set is stamped onto a white circle. As it is wedding wishes card, I purposely stamp the flamingo beaks kissing each other. I distress the white circle edge with some red ink before adhering the trimmed flamingos.

Close-up : Embossed white card base with hearts design

For the second layer of the card base, I use a white card stock that has been embossed with hearts design. This is my first time try on dry embossing even though I had some embossing folders in my collection. I distress the edges with some red ink as well.

As for the strip, I used a pattern paper with 'double happiness' in Chinese character, '喜喜'. After adhering on to the white embossed card, The circle is attached onto the strip as shown in the sketch. A white lace with flowers design is overlapped the circle and pattern strip. The whole white embossed card is then adhering onto a red folded card base.

Close-up : Sentiment

The sentiment is stamped on a white card stock and trimmed fish tails on both end. It is later distress the edges with some red ink before adhering onto the pattern paper and trimmed accordingly. The sentiment is adhered to the position as in sketch with some dimensional foams.

Close-up : Details on the flamingos

I finish the card with some pink hearts pearls on the right upper corners as in the sketch. I also added some white hearts pearls in the middle of the flamingos to symbolize they are in love. Some diamonds are attached to the female flamingo neck on the right to look like wearing a necklace. I give the female flamingo some 'make-up' as well by hand-drawn few lashes to its closed eye. A hat is added to the male flamingo on the left.
